Originally only searching YouTube for music, in January 2008, Songza expanded its searches to include results from the website Seeqpod.[5] In March 2008 Songza's web interface was upgraded with improved playlists and the ability to save them.[6] It now also has songs from Imeem.[1]

However, as of late January 2010 Songza has had to put their music streaming service on hold due to problems with YouTube's API (which is what the site uses to play back songs), YouTube blocking the site from using its API, presumably because YouTube could be sued for supporting a free music service without adverts[citation needed]. In March 2010, the music streaming service was relaunched as songza.org.
